Samoan Joe Says AQUA TEEN HUNGER FORCE COLON MOVIE FILM FOR THEATERS Is A Hell Of A Freak Out (With Herbal Enhancement)!!

Merrick here...
We've run a a few other reviews of this film (HERE and HERE), all of which said pretty much the same thing: this movie kind of sucks.
Samoan Joe, a long-time AICN reader & self-professed fan of ATHF sent in his thoughts. He didn't dislike it as much as the reviews linked above; he found the film disappointing but still good for a few laughs...

While I was definitely disappointed, I still liked it better than previous reviewers on your site. The movie plays like a very long Aqua Teen episode- entertaining, unpredictable and at times mind-bogglingly bizarre. The film-makers were evidently not willing to sacrifice any of the show's insanity for the sake of a more mainstream audience. That's cool and all, but it would have been nice if the movie had made at least a little bit of sense.
The plot itself is hardly worth explaining (not sure if I understood it anyway). Suffice to say it involves time travel, aliens and an apocalyptic exercise machine called the "Insanoflex." It also makes a half-hearted attempt to explain the origin of the Aqua Teens. As you might expect, many of the shows more popular supporting characters make appearances, including the Mooninites, the Plutonians, MC Pee Pants, Professor Strange and others. I was irritated by the absence of the Frat Aliens, especially during the scene when the Aqua Teens actually hang out in a college dorm room. The only prominent new character is an evil alien shaped like a watermelon, accompanied by a dude with a huge yellow drum set…yeah.
It's hard to imagine how an Aqua Teen neophyte would even judge a movie like this—there are about 30 complete "What the fuck?!" moments, no actual plot, and no effort at all to have anything make sense. The reaction of one person I watched the movie with, who was not familiar with the show: "I can't believe this is a real movie." I agree. It's totally ridiculous that somebody is willing to distribute this thing.
That said, it was definitely good for some laughs, and along with some herbal enhancement it made for one hell of a freak out. Also, seeing it on the big screen would add a lot to the overall experience and diminish the sense that it's just a bunch of episodes strung together.
If nothing else, this movie will likely go down in history as one of the flat-out weirdest things ever released in theaters, which I think makes it a worthwhile endeavor. As far as staying true to the show, fans should have nothing to complain about. But for those unfamiliar with the show, be warned: You may find yourself walking out of the theater in disgust. I suggest watching a few episodes first to decide if this sort of thing is up your alley. If it is, then spark one up and prepare for some seriously mind-blowing befuddlement.
If you use this review, please call me Samoan Joe.

But ATHF was only the last 5 min or so. Then, flash a card that says "Suckas!" 85 minutes prior, just have all sorts of weird TAINTED shit. Maybe a 5 minute Knowles monologue on how the Audience is the Clit.

how much weed do you smoke, dude? or are you in prison where it's really expensive or something. I don't buy pot, and I'm not an avid proponent of it, but I can't imagine that one person would be doing 50 bucks worth, in one sitting.

Watching the latest season on Cartoon Network, I feel let down. The show just isn't too funny most of the time, unlike past seasons. Seems like the movie won't be any better than the current season on TV. It's a shame, really. ATHF has had moments in the past where I was laughing my ass off. Now, I'm mostly feeling like fifteen minutes of my life has just passed and I'll never get those minutes back.

how many pounds are you buying?
Seriously, either buy from someone who isn't looking to lift your wallet, OR grow it for free nearly. That's what your closet is for.
My friends here in humboldt county grow and sell to guys who deal down south, and it probably passes through who knows how many hands and markups. Fools are gettin' raped.

comes from explainations from my sister who went to UC Santa Cruz, but um...a gram should be between 10 and 15 bucks according to her. and a gram should be enough to share. But again, it's not really my scene so, I could be wrong.

Hell, Agua Team Hungry Fort makes more sense than most things on TV. Face it folks, it's a wasteland out there. ATHF is great and you don't have to be stoned to love it. It is getting tiresome and cliche that "being stoned" is the default state one must be "in" to fully appreciate deviant nonsequitir humor. If you use the word "random" to describe such comedic genius that does not make sense to you, then you are an ignorant slut. The very word "random" has been so overly misused in vernacular parlance these past few years that it should be made a federal crime to use the word in any other context except that of statistical analysis (and then, only in stochastically isometric control groups.) If you don't get ATHF, you don't get it, and you suck. Also death metal is cool. Nathan Explosiona and Master Shake would probably make a helluva lot better Chief Executive and VP than either candidate, democrat or republican, ever could. Dems and Reps both suck. Vote metal.

will pay when I go to their countries, where they work, and make them review their own movie but they won't be able to...BEcause they will be over here and they are illegal immigrants and because of that...The A-Team will...well they are cracking down on David Lynch right NOW. I'm telling you people this is what happens when you do not call the Drizzle. I'm not him, but I post for him. I mean he's right here but well okay, Drizzle you can take over.
Hello. Hello this is the Drizzle. Apparently some of you do not like my movie. If that is this case then I guess I will have to use my powers of rain-manipulation to shatter your children's little league dreams like so many stomped, muddy puddles. That's right, I can be a villian now. It's in the contract...
Yes, yes here's shake again.
Hello. Hello this is shake. This is no longer the DRizzle. yes, put the phone down now, Drizzle. Thank you, Drizzle.

well... when i smoke before a film I generally find myself more distracted by the fact that I'm in a dark room and there's movie music playing but i either can't keep up or I'm frustrated at the repetition. unless it's a good film. I'm sure I'll be burnign one down before TRANSFORMERS. I saw Armageddon 4 at the movies times so fuck you all very much who look down upon me. I would rather 3 or 4 armagedons a year than a ... than a .... well, the point is, gimme TRANSFORMERS. It's looks fucking wild!! <p> Aqua teen hunger force is good and all... but i'd prefer a Harvey Birdman film. Instead of a crazy film that makes no sense we could have had a film that just took the piss out of Hanna Barbara for 90 minutes. <p> $50 for weed would last me 2 months. I know because I'm only 1 month down. again. <p> TRANSFORMERS!!

...wants it the most, and is probably the freakiest out of every last woman there. It's the style vs substance debate, only about sex. Trust me, in my years, I've been with blazingly hot women, and women who were... less so. Hot women don't need to know what they're doing, because they can coast on their looks. The women who aren't traditionally "blazing", they'll do things to your $%#@ that you didn't even know were possible. They've been studying up on it, noses buried in Kama Sutra manuals, memorizing positions and erogenous zones like movie geeks memorize release dates. Everybody's good-looking in the dark, even me. But not even darkness can cover a lack of skills. And that's where ugly ducklings turn into swans... in the dark. No shame in my game, I'll give the flawed diamonds their chance to shine - make as much fun of me as you want, meanwhile I'll be flying around the bedroom like Elvis Tsui in CHINESE TORTURE CHAMBER STORY bouncing from tree to tree. (And ladies, you can gender-flip everything I just wrote.)

...about ATHF just not being the same without the good Doctor at the beginning. Seems like the minute they lost that bit, the show started to slide ever-so-slightly south. And now it's just kind of a sad, retarded cousin of the genius it used to be. Not to say retards can't be funny, but it's rarely intentional. The Ezekiel eppy last weekend had its moments, but when fifteen minutes starts to feel long, you need to ask yourself if you might not be doing something right anymore. Frisky Dingo owes a great debt to ATHF, that's for certain, but like Family Guy surpassed the Simpsons and South Park surpassed Family Guy, the student has become the master. But Venture Brothers could still bend Frisky Dingo over and give it a jolly rogering. VB is the best pure comedy on the air right now, animated or not.

You can get great weed for $50. Of course, I live in the Czech Republic, where more pot is consumed than any other country in Europe, yes, the entire Netherlands combined! In a country with an international calling code that's (420), what would you expect? Even though Sealab never made a movie, that trailer for Tinfins is brilliant, and is shown 24/7 in Lucian's film library at the Sandman's castle. If you catch my drift. Along with that film version of Dune directed by Alejandro Jodorwsky, staring Salvidor Dali with music by Pink Floyd - the greatest unmade film of all time, in my opinion.

Which was passed by a majority of California voters and allowed me to waltz into any number of very nice establishments in the Bay Area and "man up" as a previous poster said, and purchase several hundred dollars worth of incredible bud. We laugh at the federal government who overturned the proposition - and we refuse to enforce it. For all its wacky flaws, the nation-state of California is truly, all-around, the best place to live on Earth. Sure, other places may have a few features that are better, but taken as a whole, I can't think of a better place to live. Rampant marijuana use is common and smiled upon by all strata of society. It's essentially like Amsterdam, without the hookers. Oh, and thank God for the variocele vein on my left testicle that causes the crippling pain that allowed me to get my prescription. Now legalize the recreational use of it for the rest of the poor uninjured/healthy masses! Arnold recently made a statement comparing California to a modern-day Athens or Sparta. Madness? This is California! Weird, fun place. Move here. And make a Metalocalypse movie. Film it in Mayan. Call it Metalocalpso.

Its hard these days to find worse. Chevy Chase is asking for the academy to take him into consideration for National Lampoons Vacation. Which coincidentally is being called the Citizen Kane of Little Miss Sunshine movies.

on uk bravo channel they have this like 4 hour period called adult swim and this aqua team shit is on that along with robot chicken. Now i find robot chicken to be so much better than this. Hence i don't watch it..... sorry

...is about right for an 1/8th of good weed.(at least where I'm at) That'll last me about a week, which is cheaper than the dude who goes two days for a tenner. Regardless, if you don't find ATHF funny sober, smoking probably won't help too much. If you already think it is funny, smoking will make it funnier; its a drug, not a miracle worker.

If Grindhouse revives the old "Movie Movie" concept of split features, they could do an [adult swim] movie with CGI Hungerford, Live action Ventures, rotoscoped Birdman, claymation 10 oz. Mouse, hentai Sealab, anime Frisky Dingo, pencil test Brak Show, all hosted by live action Gary Owens as Space Ghost. --- a really good cartoon should make you feel like you're trippin' without the enhancements.

there are people bragging about dimebags of dirt weed and explaining how anything more complex than armageddon is incomprehensible when stoned. dudes, seriously. seriously, dudes. step up to the good stuff. not only will you be more lucid AND more stoned, you'll smoke less per session. a decent price for 1/8 oz is $40 (the 10-15 per gram noted earlier). just realize if you're an end user of any drug, you're getting taxed by that guy you think is your friend. true friends get it at cost, everybody else pays for your trouble. this has been a public service announcement.

You have a point, an irrelevant point but a point nonetheless. I'm a huge fan of the first couple of seasons of ATHF...but ATHF has fallen off like Metallica did after they started rehab and got married.<pr>
Back to my original point, Frisky Dingo is a hell of a better show than ATHF. And this movie that's coming out sounds like nothing more than watching an entire new season of ATHF without seeing the credits over & over in between the randomness. I might buy it on DVD...<pr>
Frisky Dingo > ATHF

Well, yes... there are those things you mention. Touche. Although the to be fair the electricity is out 49% of the time. Not half the time. Please get your facts straight. I kid, I kid. You're right. It's out half the time. On the other hand, it's so mild here even the homeless (of which there are plenty) don't freeze to death. And many of our illegals are picking crops in the fields under such backbreaking conditions that even our homeless (who are often white and well-fed) refuse to take those jobs.
